Big props go to Ed, for all the info of this build came from him. Thanks Ed.
The parts I acquired came from Home Depot and True Value hardware store.
(6") of 3" ABS pipe
(2) 3" Tom-Kap ABS cleanout adapters
3/4" hose to hose straight connector
3/4" hose to hose 90* connector
(2) 3/4" male adapters
1/8" ball valve
1/8" threaded nipple
Scotchbrite SS pads (3 pack)
1/8"x 1 1/2" galvinized nipple
screen repair
JB Weld (Marine)
Red RTV silicone
(1') 3/4" heater hose
(2') 3/4" clear braided vinyl tubing
4' 3/8" vinyl tubing
(8) 3/8"x 7/8" hose clamps
(2) 5/8" hose clamps
#4-1/0 heat shrink
SS Strap
(2) nylon cable clips
Cost me about $70 for all the parts.
There's pics of the build in my picture album.
I didn't change much from Ed's info posts, but, I shrunk the heatshrink over the strap. I ended up not using the L brackets, but instead mounted the strap to the firewall with self tapping screws. Catchcan would slide down through strap, so, I slid strap down as far as I could, then tapped a screw through the strap and into the catchcan (short screw to just pierce the can).
There you go T.Banning. Have fun with it.

Sorry for the delay in response. Yes, I did just attach the plumber's tape directly to the firewall. I pre-drilled small pilot holes before I installed the self-tapping screws to the firewall. On the can, I installed a screw that was just long enough to go through the heat-shrinked strap and enough to grab into the can without piercing the inside of the can. It's been holding up that way since I did the install.
In post 25, Ed mentioned 'fine mesh screen'. So the screen repair that I used as 'baffles' inside the can is window/door screen repair. They come in 2"-4" squares (I don't remember exactly what size squares).

No Bother.
Those caps were hard to spot in the ABS pipe area of Home Depot, but I just came across them. They had several in the box display. I've seen them a few times later on after I purchased them. Maybe it was just luck that they were there. IDK
I only have the 4 pics in my album. sorry. I used 2 screens. I placed one screen in first. I made sure it was above the bottom hose adapter. I stretched each scrub pad before installing all 3 pads into can. Then I placed the 2nd screen atop the pads, but made sure it was below the top hose adapter.
When I bonded the cleanout adapters to the pipe, I sealed the bottom cap so it couldn't unscrew, or, leak fluid. The top cap, I just screwed it tightly with teflon tape. this was so that if I wanted to get access to the inside of the can.
